Is there a function that applies list of functions to a value?

With a bit more work, one can set the __name__ and __qualname__ attributes.

import math as m

def comp(*func, name=''):
     def anon(x):
         res=x
         for f in func:
             res=f(res)
         return res
     if name:
         anon.__name__ = name
         q = anon.__qualname__.rsplit('.', maxsplit=1)
         q[1] = name
         anon.__qualname__ = '.'.join(q)
     return anon

esincos = comp(m.exp, m.sin, m.cos, name='esincos')
print(esincos)
#
<function comp.<locals>.esincos at 0x00000000033107B8>
